The truth always emerge again and again,
But a force exist that always corrupt it to avoid the massive system failure truth for everyone would have generate.

And yes, despite not having a close relation with Buddhism as you I came to the same conclusions.
I exist, I have an experience inside a body. My body won't last forever, I will.

But this experience with time come to look more and more like a prison break.

We are grown into this world to be harvested again and again and again.
The final level, is get out of there, break the reincarnation cycle, get free.
